Clearer, but contrary to what you said before, the version number does
not indicate what branch a build is from; 1.1.1 was made from trunk
while 1.1.42 was made for the 1.2 stabilization branch.

You have also left out what "svn --version" displays for a private build
made from the trunk after we have branched for 1.2 (but before we have
released 1.2).
